Some of you younger guys will get what the older guys are talking about when you get into your twenties. Until then you won't understand, because I thought I was mature for my age when I was 14, but now being 22 I wish I could go back in time and kick my own ass, and I'm sure that when I'm 30 I will think the same about myself today.

I believe most of the older guys in this forum will think the same.

Some pictures would be helpful. Is the plug on the back of the receiver coaxial? (like the red white and yellow on most televisions).george_hopkins

Those are called RCA or phono ends, coaxial is like cable TV.

A digital coaxial input for audio is a coaxial cable with an RCA end used for PCM or DD/DTS

I have honestly had two consoles get the 3 red lights, my brother once, and my best friend once. My brother's roomate has a launch console that is fine. Some break and some don't. I recommend getting the warranty, because you are covered for an additional two years. I personally am covered until 4/2009, but if you do have a problem, they arehelpful with my repairs and I'm without my 360 for 10-14 days (not months)

Make the plunge, you won't regret it.

The Springfield Cardinals are about 45 minutes from my house. The are AA (I think) for the St. Louis Cardinals.
